You can watch Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper’s New Year’s Eve special (“New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen”) on CNN via traditional cable/satellite, CNN’s own streaming, or live TV streaming services that carry CNN.

Where it airs

  • The show is broadcast live on CNN from Times Square starting around 8 p.m. ET on New Year’s Eve.
  • It typically runs through midnight and a bit after, covering the ball drop and performances.

How to watch with cable

If you already have pay TV (cable or satellite):

  • Tune directly to CNN on your TV at 8 p.m. ET on December 31.
  • You can also log in with your TV provider inside CNN’s apps or website to stream the same live coverage.

How to stream without cable

If you do not have cable:

  • Use a live TV streaming service that carries CNN, such as Sling TV or DIRECTV via internet , which offer ways to watch CNN live and often include free trials or short-term passes around New Year’s.
  • CNN’s own subscription streaming (often branded as CNN All Access or similar) also offers live streaming of CNN, including the Andy and Anderson New Year’s Eve special, for a monthly fee you can cancel later.

Timing and access tips

  • Plan to sign up or verify logins a few hours before the show so you do not miss the opening at 8 p.m. ET.
  • If you only care about the Times Square ball drop and not specifically Andy and Anderson , there is also a separate, free Times Square livestream that shows the countdown but not their CNN commentary.
